Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the broiler in the oven with a broiler pan placed inside to heat up.

  2. 2

    Begin by thoroughly washing the fish and then drying it using paper towels. Stuff the cavity with green onion, lemon slice, and dill. Coat the fish evenly with potato starch followed by a drizzle of olive oil. Finally, generously season the entire fish with seafood seasoning.

  3. 3

    Begin by preheating the broiler and taking out the hot broiler pan from the oven. Drizzle oil on the pan before carefully placing the fish on it. Broil for about 5 minutes until you observe a nicely browned skin and the flesh turns opaque and easily flakes when tested with a fork. Once done, serve right away, giving it a finishing touch with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil before serving.
